On the Sovereignty of Mothers

Exploring the often-overlooked maternal aspect of politics, Gil Anidjar challenges traditional paternal and fraternal frameworks that have shaped political discourse. He argues that maternal concepts, metaphors, and images provide a crucial perspective on political thought, revealing an alternative understanding of power and governance. This work invites readers to reconsider the foundations of political theory through a maternal lens, highlighting the significance of nurturing and relational dynamics in political contexts.
